Objectivity

"Objectivity" = ?
  • In natural sciences: "observable, reproducible results"
  • In formal sciences: "provable propositions"
  • In social sciences/humanities: "intersubjectivity of phenomena"

So would that make humanity's knowledge "an intersubjectively approved collection of provable propositions rooted in reproducible experiments"?
